Goodby Motorola. 13 years - except for 2014 - at an estimated cost of $40M/yr. The NFL reportedly turned down Motorola's increased offer of $50M for 2015.
Nike reportedly spends $220M/yr on the uni sponsorship.
Every NFL broadcast has a full time camera on the 2 head coaches. Those 2-3 second reaction shots of the coaches faces 10 or 15x per game are brilliant subliminal advertising. Average NFL viewership is 13-20M, divisional playoffs is 34M, and last years Superbowl was 111M.
The never-ending kneejerk antipathy of so-called "audiophiles" towards a successful US company has long passed its shelf life.
PS: Bose A20 aviation headsets go for $1100. They also snagged pro golfer Rory McIlroy's golf bag this year.
